Dear Bob, here are some photos of my life here on the campus of Concordia Seminary. I love kids, working with the grounds crew, swimming, playing with my dog friends, and especially my own family people.

Ferdie goes to DC

The adventures of Ferdie, he gets his first long cross country car trip which began in Clayton, an overnight stay in Paris Illinois, and ended in Rockville Maryland at his cousin Riley's house. Katie, Charlie and Drew are out here too.

Ferdie in the backseat of the truck is on the post just below this one. He was a trooper about 12 hours in the car with short breaks for go potty and stretch.

When we got to Paris Wednesday afternoon, we found Dale's family outside on the driveway having happy hour in 105 degree heat.

Ferdie was happy to get out of the car after 3 hours and liked the snacks. Little did he know the next day would be 13 hours in the car.

We had dinner, went to bed

and got up at 3:15 a.m. packed up the car and were crossing into Ohio at sunrise.

And blah blah, endless driving until we got to Rockville and the Bailey homestead.

Drew and Katie led us down to the yard.

Under the deckDrew showed us how to turn on the water.

After supper Drew got on his jammies

And took my iphone

And here we are this morning, everyone raring to go. we've worked in the yard already, planted some hostas and now Katie and Drew and I are going to her doctor visit while Dale and the dogs rebuild the back gate.
